Exactly why I want HL2DM so much. We play a ton of lan parties and there is nothing more satisfying than to lay serious waste to each other in a classic DM round. Throw in a manipulator and physics and we are all in for a wonderful blood bath. We play plenty of team based lan matches on all...

Max, just FYI the Source SDK is in fact now available for download through Steam. Open the "Play Games" menu and at the bottom of the list, you'll find the Source SDK which is what you need to get this project off the ground. Good luck mate and hope to see how you faired! :cheers:

A quick look at Amazon didn't have any positive hits at this time. I would have to venture a guess that the soundtrack won't be available seperately for the time being. Bummer. I also didn't see that the music for Half Life available for purchase anywhere either.

For me, the all time best guitar solo I've ever seen is Jimmy Page from Led Zeppelin on "White Summer/Black Mountain Side". I gotta hand it to Page again for "Dazed and Confused". Great stuff. But I have to throw in Metallica's work on "One" and "Am I evil?" along with "Fade to Black"...

Yes Polypod, Valve is potentially hurting some users but they do in fact require an internet connection to unlock Half Life 2 purchased through retail. Granted, this user base is getting smaller by the day. In fact I cannot even venture a modest estimate on how many people that actually buy...

I'm not worried. 10 GB of bandwidth availability at any given peak, is a very large amount of bandwidth coupled with queuing on network servers and massive data througput within the topology has an end result of excellent availability to users. I would love to see the bandwidth * throughput...

I went with Steam purchase because: A. The technology is impressive and free (and required to unlock and play HL 2 anyway) B. I live fairly remote from any retail outlets meaning I would spend a fair amount of cash on gas alone to get to a store and back again which is no short drive :)...

Yeah, I was actually surprised I didn't see a thread on this already (at least within the last few days. I was away for the weekend).

Yeah, no worries. If I think it's useful to post and I haven't seen it recently, I'll post the info for you guys :)

Sorry, I only saw this an hour ago on GameSpot's site. If its old stuff then close the thread. I didn't see any thread on this topic within the last several days so I figured I'd mention it.

Hey All, Just an FYI. The Final Hours of Half Life 2 story from Game Spot will be coming out "Next Friday" in a comment written in today's rummor control. Should be excellent reading if its anything like the Final Hours of Half Life that came out oh so many years ago :cheers...

Ya know, I seriously just about scripted that page myself for HL2 :devil: Using HTTPWatch, it was really easy to see what POST blocks I would need to send over and over again through a simple batch script and we could quickly get that number really high but that's cheating :)

This will be fun to see how it pans out. I do wonder what the real damage would be if the publishers lost the court case meaning I would be interested to see what impact it would have on consumers like us?

Sorry Raziel, we got a little side tracked here :)

I will concide your point here. I was being too technical and yes, the fumes are certainly the primary and easiest ignition point. I stand corrected :cheers:
